For whatever reason GCC isn't able to figure things out in
the control flow (in particular when min() and max() expressions
are involved) on sparc as well as it can on x86.
So lots of useless incorrect user copy warnings get spewed and the
full-on compile failure mode of the user copy checks were never usable
on sparc at all.
People can debug these kinds of problems on x86.

Callers of copy_from_user() expect it to return the number of bytes
it could not copy. In no case it is supposed to return -EFAULT.
In case of a detected buffer overflow just return the requested
length. In addition one could think of a memset that would clear
the size of the target object.

This mirrors x86 commit 9f0cf4adb6
(x86: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user())

sched.h inclusion is definitely not needed like in 32-bit version,
remove it, fixup compilation.

The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.

Alexander Beregalov reports oops in __bzero() called from
copy_from_user_fixup() called from iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(),
when running dbench on tmpfs on sparc64: its __copy_from_user_inatomic
and __copy_to_user_inatomic should be avoiding, not calling, the fixups.

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***
The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
